Mizrahi, an Egyptian Jew with Italian nationality, established himself as a prolific director of popular comedies and musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. As a studio owner and producer, Mizrahi promoted the idea that developing a local cinema industry was a project of national importance. Togo Mizrahi and the Making of Egyptian Cinema integrates film analysis with film history to tease out the cultural and political implications of Mizrahi's work. His movies, Starr argues, subvert dominant notions of race, gender, and nationality through their playful- and queer-use of masquerade and mistaken identity. Taken together, Mizrahi's films offer a hopeful vision of a pluralist Egypt. By reevaluating Mizrahi's contributions to Egyptian culture, Starr challenges readers to reconsider the debates over who is Egyptian and what constitutes national cinema"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Togo Mizrahi, agent of exchange -- Togo Mizrahi, work over words -- Crimes of mistaken identity -- Queering the Levantine -- Journeys of assumed identity : Seven O'Clock (1937) -- Traveling anxieties -- Courtesan and concubine -- Frames of influence -- Appendix : Togo Mizrahi filmography. 600 10 $a MizraÌhÌ£iÌ, TuÌjuÌ, $d 1905-1986 $x Criticism and interpretation. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z Egypt. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Egypt $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Motion picture producers and directors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027225 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a University of California series in Jewish history and cultures ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022617.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E1DD8A471B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
